Burning Off Work

Today was another easy run that ended up at less than 9-minute/mile pace. And again, that seems to be my new standard for an easy run until it gets hotter outside. And just like my last outing, it was a crappy day at work calling for some running time to burn off the stress. Seriously, something has to change because I don't know if I can keep running this fast until I retire. When I started out I had a little pain in my left shin but it quickly disappeared. My calves still feel a little tight - I know I keep saying that and I need to look into what it's going to take to stretch them and keep them from cramping in races. Since I don't have anything planned right now I guess I have the time.
